PANDA 

2005    
collaboration with Jeffry Mitchell
59 minute digital video




In 2005 Tivon Rice began a collaboration with Seattle artist Jeffry Mitchell. What started as an exploration of Jeffry’s material sensibilities and Tivon’s work in experimental video became PANDA, an hour-long progression of suggestive forms and motions. Created by slowly dripping shaving-cream atop an illuminated light-box, and mirroring the resulting video, the accumulation and cadence of falling material form a strange evolution of creatures and environments. Much like Rorschach inkblot tests, PANDA allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions about a series of subjective images.
